7 Configuring for TCP/IP

The Kodak Professional 10/100 network interface card (NIC) supports TCP/IP. The NIC appears to the network as a print server with its own IP address using the lpd line printer daemon protocol. Any host computer that supports the remote lpr command can spool jobs to the NIC. The NIC also supports gateways for communications with hosts on remote networks. For special applications, a raw TCP port is available. Kodak develops printing software and supports networked printing environments for Windows and Macintosh platforms.

Windows

For Windows platforms, NT is the only platform that supports TCP/IP printing. Win95/98 systems do not support direct printing using TCP/IP printing without the addition of special purpose TCP/IP LPR printing software.

Macintosh

Macintosh systems use AppleTalk protocol for network communications and do not support TCP/IP printing without the addition of special purpose TCP/IP software.

Unix

Kodak does not develop printing software for Unix platforms. However, Kodak assists third-party developers who provide applications and printing software to support Kodak printers. Refer to the Kodak Web site (www.kodak.com) for information on third-party developer solutions.

Some customers who have Unix applications and drivers capable of generating PostScript output files may wish to submit these files to Kodak PostScript printers.

General information for configuring printers on Unix platforms is provided to accommodate the use of lpr to send output files to Kodak printers. If you encounter problems, administrators should refer to the documentation for their specific Unix platform for configuring print queues.

NOTE: Although generic PostScript files should print on Kodak PostScript printers, Kodak cannot guarantee the quality of output generated from non-Kodak drivers that may not support features such as calibration of Kodak printers.
